[ID: A gifset featuring Mr Hyde and Dr. Lanyon from Le Testament du Docteur Cordelier (1959):

Lanyon stands up, concerned at seeing Hyde barge into his office. Hyde casually says "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mr. Hyde."

As Hyde walks around his office, Lanyon says "Ah, Hyde. Did Jekyll send you?" Hyde takes a seat and answers "Yep. I'm supposed to meet with Dr. Jekyll." He wrings his hands and adds "He needs me for his... demonstration."

Lanyon yells "Are you two fucking with me? Come back tomorrow!" and grabs hold of Hyde, intended to forcibly kick him out. Hyde casually says "Don't be so reckless. You'll have a heart attack." and pulls out of his grip. He adds "We're meeting today. Dr. Jekyll can't make it tomorrow. He'll be here in a moment."

Lanyon yells at his assistants "What makes you think you could let him in?" His assistants look defensively at each other, and then one says "He was here when I arrived!" and the other nods in agreement and says "He must have forced his way in!" Leaning on Lanyon's desk, Hyde answers "He did." Suddenly intruiged, Lanyon walks over to him and gently grabs his face, examining him.

After examing Hyde for a moment, Lanyon addresses his assistants and says "[Him being here] might be a good thing, after all." He looks back at Hyde and asks "Don't you think? I can't wait to see." Hyde says "No witnesses." and Lanyon asks "What do you mean?" Hyde walks around again as he explains "That's why the doctor moved our meeting to today."

Hyde adds "Remember, I'm a criminal." Lanyon asks "Yes, and you're afraid I might tell the police?" Hyde nods and answers "Yep."

Lanyon says "What? Since no witnesses are allowed..." and once again grabs Hyde. Hyde calmly answers "I'm not a witness. I'm his patient." and again pulls out of Lanyon's grip.

Hyde says "So..." and trails off, once again walking around Lanyon's office. Lanyon glances at his assistants, then Hyde, and then angrily grabs his tie and yells "You're pissing me off, okay? You're really pissing me off." Hyde casually says "In that case... no demonstration."

Lanyon and Hyde stare at each other intensely for a moment. Then Lanyon gives in, smiles, and nods and says "Very well then." He pulls Hyde along and sits him down as he says "That's enough. Sit down and wait." As he begins to examine Hyde, he addresses his assistants and says "Marguerite, see if Boulard needs you. Does he have a patient?" She answers "Not until 5:00pm, sir." Lanyon says "Go to him and tell him I don't want to be disturbed." Marguerite says "But sir!" but Lanyon says "Do as I said."

As Lanyon continues to examine Hyde, he addresses his other assistant and says "Mary, you'll stay at the desk." She asks "What if someone comes?" and Marguerite adds "We're expecting Dr. Jekyll." Lanyon says "I'll take care of him myself." The two girls look uncertainly at each other, and Lanyon says "Go on." and they reluctantly leave.
